10 Best Google News API Alternatives For 2021

Here are 10 best Google news API alternatives.

For the uninitiated, an API (Application Programming Interface) is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other.

News API is used by developers to integrate news articles, media etc into other applications.

What is Google News API?

Google news API lets you integrate Google News search results into your application or web pages. You can use it to display topics, headlines, trending stories, URLs, and other news items from Google searches.

Google has become the immediate go-to for any search in an age of ever-expanding news articles and data. Beyond individual searches, businesses also rely on Google to keep up with the latest news and trends in the industry and monitor their competition. Brands leverage search engines to monitor their brands and customer engagement. So it is only natural for businesses to turn to Google to gather and collect data. Even though Google provides you unmatched results for all search queries, with the search giant’s API shutdown, we need to look for alternatives.
